About Sutton Building & Design
Sutton Building & Design is a residential building contractor based in the New Forest and working across south Hampshire and East Dorset. We carry out whole-house refurbishments, new homes, listed and period properties and extensions.
Most of our work comes through architects and from clients who have been recommended to us. We build to the drawings, keep the site tidy and tell you what is happening as we go.

Based in the New Forest, Charlie Sutton is the owner of Sutton Building & Design. He started out landscaping after completing a diploma in property agency and surveying, and soon realised he wanted to get into construction — drawn to the creative process and being more hands on.
After completing various kitchen and bathroom installations for clients, he progressed into constructing extensions, and then on to more major developments including conversions of commercial buildings into residential, and finally on to completely new build homes.
Over the years, Charlie has built up a highly skilled, professional and trustworthy local team who share in the Sutton Building & Design ethos of ensuring the highest satisfaction amongst our clients. We offer a range of bespoke services including landscaping, kitchens, bathrooms, extensions, conversions and new builds.
Getting the design right at the beginning is an important part of building, and we can help you design your perfect home inside and out. We use local, handpicked subcontractors to ensure the finished quality of the end product is the best it can be. Sutton Building & Design will always go the extra mile to make sure you are completely satisfied at the end of the project, and you will receive a truly personal service throughout.
What we care about
Quality Craftsmanship
We use local, handpicked subcontractors and traditional methods so the finished quality of every home is the best it can be.
Attention to Detail
The finished house is the result of many small decisions made deliberately — how the substructure is set out, how the joinery meets the floor, how the services were planned before the plasterboard went on.
Collaborative Approach
We work closely with architects, structural engineers and our clients, so the design is right at the start and carried through to the end.
Clear Communication
A clear programme, regular updates with photos, and changes priced and agreed in writing before work proceeds.
